PVC or Silicone?

Hello everyone,

I am about to take the plunge and will buy my very first prostate massager! I’ve decided to go with the Trident Helix. The other 3 options were appealing but the helix’s main selling point is its mobility, which after lurking around this sub seems to be important to achieving prostate orgasms. I thought about buying the Maximus as feeling fuller is rather enjoyable to me, but at the cost of mobility I think either the Eupho or Helix are better, hence my choice for the Helix.

One last question remains however: Silicone or PVC? Silicone is both cheaper and softer, but has that silicone smell and doesn’t increase mobility. On the other hand, PVC is more expensive and harder but is easier to move around your prostate.

Which do you prefer?

  1. I’m pretty sure the white plastic ones are cheaper than the black “syn” silicone ones. As for additional info on how they feel I can’t answer because I own neither. I’d say go with your instinct though.

  2. I like the plastic better and by a lot. I have a Helix trident syn, the original Helix not trident, the Progasm, and a knock off. So i guess I only have one silicone buy yeah the others are far superior

  3. I have the Syn (silicone) model, and I can tell you it doesn’t have a smell. Silicone shouldn’t smell like anything after it’s cured. Maybe right out of the box (mine didn’t) but certainly not after you’ve washed it. If your toy has a smell it might not be silicone…

    Personally, if I were to do it again, I would probably go with the plastic one over the silicone, but only if it’s glass-smooth, which I can’t remember if it is or isn’t…

    I have a Progasm BlackProgasm Iceand it’s great. Smooth.

    I also want to be a little picky and point out that the plastic ones are ABS, not PVC. PVC is not a body-safe material, and I don’t want newbies thinking that Aneros uses it. ABS is safe and so is silicone, and that’s what they’re made from.

  4. You know I have the Maximus Trident white plastic…but it was my 2nd massager after I got the movements down with my Helix Syn…… the Maxi gives you the fuller feeling that you like and still can move it around… I’ve had the most success achieving POs and SuperOs with my Maxi… I just love it! Progasm is just too big for me still… I have one but very hard to get inserted without the use of poppers… it puts a hurtin on my butthole, plus it totally fills me up where I can hardly move it… might be best to start off with the smaller ones to get the kegels and movements down… but you’ll graduate to the fuller massagers… the syn models do usually carry a smell after regular usage… at least mine did… but I also used an oil based lube…
